FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ANHEUSER-BUSCH INTRODUCES FIRST NATIONALLY
AVAILABLE SORGHUM BEER: REDBRIDGE
Sorghum Beer Offers Alternative for Adults Choosing a Wheat- or Gluten-Free
Lifestyle

ST. LOUIS (Dec. 20, 2006) - Adults who experience wheat allergies or who
choose a
wheat-free or gluten-free diet, now have a beer that fits their lifestyle.
Redbridge is the
first nationally available sorghum beer. Beginning today, Redbridge will be
sold in stores
carrying organic products and restaurants.

Sorghum, the primary ingredient in Redbridge, is a safe grain for those
allergic to wheat or
gluten. It is grown in the U.S., Africa, Southern Europe, Central America and
Southern
Asia. Sorghum beers have been available internationally for years and are
popular in many
African countries.

Redbridge is a hearty, full-bodied lager brewed using imported Hallertau and
domestic
Cascade hops. It is brewed with sorghum and has a well-balanced, moderately
hopped
taste.

"We set out to create a fine, hand-crafted specialty beer made without wheat
or barley,"
said Angie Minges, product manager, Anheuser-Busch, Inc. "We've made Redbridge
nationally available to make sure adults who experience wheat allergies or who
choose a
gluten-free or wheat-free diet can enjoy the kind of beer that fits their
lifestyle."
Redbridge contains 4.8 percent alcohol per 12-ounce serving. It will be
available in 12
ounce, six-pack bottles. Redbridge is brewed at the Anheuser-Busch Merrimack,
N.H.,
brewery.

"Brewing a beer made with sorghum was an exciting process," says Kristin
Zantop,
brewmaster, Anheuser-Busch, Inc. "We use only the highest quality ingredients
to brew
Redbridge as is the case with all our beers. Sorghum is the primary
ingredient. We then
use the lager brewing process using imported Hallertau and domestic Cascade
hops
without adding wheat or barley to give Redbridge its rich, hearty taste."

Anheuser-Busch worked closely with the National Foundation for Celiac
Awareness (NFCA)
during the development of Redbridge to get a better understanding of the needs
of
consumers who are leading gluten-free or wheat-free lifestyles. Anheuser-Busch
will
make annual donations to the NFCA and sponsor their events such as cooking
sprees. For
